Mom is Similar to My Son

51. Time to Understand

The next day, Arfan accidentally saw Tristan again and immediately his heartbeat became irregular again. He called Assistant Hans, asking what it meant for a man to drive a woman home.

"Love who's making out." Answer Assistant Hans.

But according to the information Arfan got about Alina, there was no information about this new man. Hans' assistant advised him to fight even harder. The new man after Zayn, could likely be Arfan's love rival and stumbling block in getting Alina.

So, Arfan decided to go to Tristan's clinic with his pong style, even though Tristan welcomed him kindly, thinking that he had come to see his pet cat Alina.

Arfan was immediately annoyed to hear Tristan mention Alina's name in a familiar tone. Since when does 'Fiancee' keep cats?

Just as Tristan brought out the cat, Alina also appeared to visit her cat and directly pushed Arfan aside. Arfan tries to attract her attention with a cough, but Alina instead thinks she has the flu and immediately expels him.

"If it hurts, go all the way from here. You could've passed on a dangerous virus that would've infected everyone here."

Alina even ignores Arfan to take Tristan to lunch with him at an ordinary restaurant but is famous for his amazing number one delicious meal in the city to celebrate Tristan's return.

"I agree, but is Mr Arfan coming too?" Ask Tristan.

Arfan wanted to, but Alina suddenly interrupted, stating that Arfan did not need to come along.

"no need. How could a famous CEO want to break into a regular greasy, noisy restaurant." Syndical Alina.

"really. My fiancee knows more about me. I might eat in a place that might be rundown, covered in flies and unhealthy food." Arfan respectfully approved Alina's words and began grumbling in contempt of the completely unhealthy food. He, Arfan, has never eaten such a meal.

As soon as the two men left, Arfan immediately searched for information about the restaurant and quietly followed them. He sits at a nearby table, watches them closely while covering half his face with the menu book, and is jealous when he sees Tristan picking up Alina's favorite side dish and a hair tie.

"I see all the articles that gossip about you are gone." Tristan.

"That's all thanks to that guy. He does, he also has to clear my name. I admit he's not too bad." Alina admitted that it was thanks to Arfan, and she admitted, it turns out that Arfan is not so annoying.

On the other hand, a waiter tried to question him about the menu he ordered.

"Sir, what message do you want?" Ask waiter.

Arfan just ordered just about any menu so his focus was watching them. What he did not suspect, the menu he ordered was a birthday menu and suddenly the waiters popped confetti and the choir compact called for a birthday greeting for him.

The views of Alina and Tristan were also diverted. And make Arfan ketar-ketir his disguise known.

"What is he doing here? Is he following us?" Annoyed Alina.

Worse yet, suddenly there is an MC who announced a game. The rule is, they'll turn on the song. When the song stops, if there is a customer who hugs the opposite sex, then he will get a 50% discount%. If you can smell it, the food is free.

Whoa! Arfan immediately panicked thinking that Tristan would kiss Alina. And err. It seemed like Tristan did think of that judging from her gaze on Alina. Arfan became increasingly panicked to realize Tristan's gaze. Especially then the MC started to turn on the music.

As soon as the music stopped, Tristan and Arfan suddenly rose at the same time. Tristan wants to get close to Alina, but is confronted in time by Arfan.

Their over-attached poses look like they're hugging. And Alina suddenly took the initiative to take them a selfie together. But Arfan did not say he did not want to come, so he just sat down and ate with them. Arfan immediately agreed happily, Tristan who was not happy there.

...***...

The next day, Arfan was exercising with Assistant Hans. But his mind was not calm thinking of Tristan who was attentive to Alina last night. He thought by getting rid of Zayn all the problems were done, apparently there was still Tristan that he needed to finish all of them.

There were many guards guarding them. Hans's assistant became annoyed, the presence of the bodyguards could prevent the beautiful women from approaching. Speaking of beautiful women, Assistant Hans wondered if her charms had now started to decline.

"I'm not interested in you." Arfan.

"But I love you." Joking Assistant Hans.

Hmh! Arfan was immediately uncomfortable and disgusted to stay away from him. Hans's assistant protested against her attitude, it was appropriate that Kirana went abroad first (Oh, who is Kirana? Arfan's ex-girlfriend before marrying his late wife Alina, right?).

"Aren't you curious about the reason for Miss Kirana's departure?" Ask Assistant Hans.

"He had his own reasons for leaving." Arfan answered casually and he did not care at all for whatever reason it was.

"of course. There are a lot of people who like you, you don't lack either, right? If so, reopen your heart and work on it. Get Doctor Alina right away, then marry her."

Shortly thereafter, Arfan took Ivan to his company's cafeteria, then left him there because he had to meet. Ivan could only snort in annoyance at it.

What she doesn't realize, and somehow is there, Alina's biological mother, Maya Bu, is there, intending to investigate Arfan but not expecting to see Arfan carrying a child. So once Arfan left, Maya immediately approached Ivan and greeted him kindly. He still remembers the child that Alina brought back and Bu Maya thinks Arfan is the father of the child.

Ivan immediately gestured away so that Bu Maya did not approach, but Bu Maya misunderstood Ivan answered his greetings and just sat in front of him. He asked Ivan.

"You're the mother of Similar Mothers, right? You're my grandma?" Ivan asked who remembered.

"Mother alike? Maybe it means Alina." Mumbles Bu Maya.

"Agh... Aye right. You're so smart. You seem to remember, yes. Good boy!" Praise Bu Maya stroking Ivan's hair.

"Emmm... Your name is Ivan, right. Emm... Grandma wondered if that guy was your father?"

Ivan nodded.

"Emmm... Then where's your mom?" Ask Maya again.

"I have his picture. I always carry her picture with me." So Ivan answered by showing a photo of his mother that clearly made Bu Maya surprised to see the photo shown is her own daughter.

"Hehe... This is your mother, yes. So, it's not wrong of me to call myself Grandma." Mom Maya becomes speechless.

...***...

When Alina came home not long after, she found her father sitting awkwardly in front of his wife. Somehow at this time Bu Maya became more fierce than Mr. Hendro. Mr. Hendro secretly informed him that Ms. Maya had just interrogated him about Arfan. Alina didn't say anything, but she was already unable to face them, so she wanted to just leave on the grounds of wanting to jog.

Alina wants to avoid too, but Mom immediately orders her to sit in front of them and to the point confess that they have seen Arfan and already know if Arfan has children. And his son Arfan himself said that Alina was his mother.

"Father and Mother don't mind you wanting to date or get married, but marrying a man who already has a child is a huge responsibility and burden. And again, do you even know everything about Arfan? His family? Her background? Her past?" Said Bu Maya.

"Therefore, Father and Mother decided to meet Arfan in person tomorrow. We want to see what kind of person Arfan is and what he's planning on you. Have Arfan come tomorrow." Said Mr. Hendro.

Alina refuses, insisting on convincing them that she and Arfan have nothing to do.

"Him and I are nothing. I told you yesterday, it's just acting and it's all fake. It's up to you and Mom if you don't believe." Answer Alina's annoyance.

"Oh, my God... Now my daughter has dared to hide a secret from her parents. Please forgive him and give him consciousness before I die." Bu Maya suddenly acted out her heart and complained about their daughter who now began to hide everything from her parents. Hicks!

Alina just casually ate the fruit and told her mother to stop her acting. Ms. Maya claims that if she doesn't act, she really feels bad, she just wants to die.

Fortunately, Alina was saved thanks to a chat from Tristan who told her to come out. Alina immediately acted excited, reasoned that Tristan sprained and rushed out. But the reason Tristan told him to come out was not to save Alina from the trial of her parents, but because Arfan came after not long before Alina's house and had heard Alina was on trial.

"You hear that, my husband? After Arfan... Tristan came who was not ready. I don't know how many men are out there. Since when does our daughter become a playgirl." Saddened Bu Maya lamented her fate of having a daughter like Alina.

Arfan wants to get into Alina's house, but Alina quickly prevents him by telling Arfan to help her block the blazing sun.

"Today the sun is so hot. The point is, don't look!"

Arfan was clearly astonished by this strange attitude. Even every time she turned her head, Alina immediately pulled her face.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of something?" Ask Arfan.

Alina denied, "What do I need to fear? By the way, what business did you come looking for me for?"

"What are you saying right?" Arfan.

"Huh? What did I say?"

"Before you said we were strangers. We don't understand each other enough. That's why, I decided to give you some time to understand me."

"This is all? All right, I get it. Mr. Arfan, please go." Alina keeps driving Arfan away. He was afraid his mother's father would come out. But Arfan was stalling.

"How long do you need?"

"Aduhh... Emm... So look, throughout the course of my life, you must have experienced many stories, experiences, knowledge, and so forth. To understand each other is like running an epic game. So, at least I need 2. no, 5 years."

"Copper two weeks time. That's too long. You must be playing with me."

Arfan then gives him a USB that contains all the information about him, Alina must learn it once home later.if there is less information or forgotten, he can ask at any time, at any time, Arfan will answer honestly.

Alina just said yes. He immediately grabbed the USB and rushed into his house. Arfan was really suspicious of this attitude of his, was Alina hiding the man in her house? But Tristan was with him and they stared at each other intently.
